I was doing a logging of data for a battery life test for a laptop.
I randomly checked on the laptop and recorded the remaining battery% based on the laptops reading and the current time.
The upper part of this images is those data points.
\1
Later on I created the bottom data by multiplying by 1440 to get minutes and then subtracted 635 to get 0 as my starting point.
So my final 2 data points for my graph are the Battery % and the On Time.
When I graph them I get a line graph that looks like this:
\1
This is not my desired result :/ That sharp drop looks like there was a change in the battery life rate for some reason and its because I was gone for an hour at the park with the kids while the laptop ran. Excel is just mapping the data 1:1 and does not understand that the bottom axis is "time" and that I want it to take the data I gave it and map it over time to give me a average line based on all data. The kind of stuff they made us do all the time in school.
I feel like excel can do this just that I am not doing something right. I tried to go into the charts axis labeling options and tell it to use a preset interval of say 10 or 20 but it has no effect on the graph at all it just blanks out the axis labels.
So if you guys understand what I am trying to do, can you help me?
Thanks.
